Food Stamps

Hi, Ed, I lost my job in October, applied for food stamps, and my unemployment has already kicked in, 60 percent of what I was making working. What happened to the food stamps? I’m a single mother and I can’t feed my kids. What’s taking social services so long? I wouldn’t have applied if I didn’t need the help. Please, somebody get social services on their feet to help us. I was getting up at 4:30 a.m. and working til 3 p.m. for two years. My boss laid me off without any warning. Social services should work harder to help us.
Help
If anyone has advice for this young woman, please, call in. In the meantime, something tells me things are going to get easier for those in need to get help. New president + tanking economy = something new coming down the pike.— Ed. Note

Contact your local DYFS office, or the Child Abuse Hotline and ask for help. They don't just take kids away you know, they'll provide services especially to those families in need.

Catholic Charities on North Clinton Ave. Red Cross, Welfare, or the local churches. I know for a fact that Catholic Charities will help. Good Luck!

If all else fails, contact the Public Advocates Office. They'll contact social services,then lets see what happens.
